    Dead Pilot's M38a1

    not to cause anyone to laugh but I sure hope that thing will get one or better two cushion pads before it ever gets driven anywhere! me can't help thinking what would happen to your poor "pulverized" kidney if you try drive that thing like it is now!!

    @Migginsbros oh and before i forget about you, I know that when you get used to it it seem like a normal thing but still I mean any time anyone sees an interior photo even if for the very first time its too easy to tell that its an unimog and nothing else you know? and regarding getting used to...

    @MatthewWBailey I simply was curious and searched 'tall driver in small car' online, somehow managed to find this one https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IdnyoeNRV4c/maxresdefault.jpg and also "what..the.." to this one https://i.pinimg.com/736x/48/8b/2c/488b2c0128170c12174e4f6db44a5dd5.jpg (and look at that...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2024 - March VOTE HERE!

    someone get @kendelrio to stand next to an offroad dump truck tire if we want to have a bit of pointless "honey I shrunk the kid!" level of kidding? hehehe!!! (I mean he won't be able to rest his elbow anywhere but literally on the tire hub itself?)

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2024 - March VOTE HERE!

    @Migginsbros regarding being in front of that white/red/white plane, I know its not military but I'm curious about whats on its belly? I sorta wanted to assume oil-to-air cooler but mm I could be wrong. And as for your later interior shot I don't know about you but as soon as I see several...

    Chucky's Worst Nightmare?

    hey I thought of something else a little silly, is the interior relatively waterproof? if so then talk about just simply tossing clean clothes (and any other water-sensitive things) out then tilt the camper and get a good hose .. just make sure the ground behind the vehicle won't mind an onrush...

    Chucky's Worst Nightmare?

    @NDT well I have never seen a cabover that had an over-cab shell either because of the problem of allowing the cab to still tilt for engine access, so this custom camper tilt design is clever if you ask me?

    MV of the month March 2024

    @kendelrio ah just in case of confusion indeed I wasn't talking about toward the middle of the roof but these two plank-like things seemingly bolted vertically off the frame around doors themselves (and btw funny re predator and escaped hunter tho hehe)

    MV of the month March 2024

    no problem @kendelrio just found the two rack-like thing hanging past the door top a bit unusual in an interesting way anyway I like the way you took that photo tho, it looks like one of these "clomping the hills looking for a certain someone/something" kind of stance

    The Rise and Fall of the Humvee?

    unrelated but as I recall this was for a good part why the Iltis and alike were often shortly retired or reassigned to some non-military tasks .. they may had been good at scouting in the first place but the lack of bomb protection etc basically wrote their army-related uses off for good

    Armoured grille -engine temp

    well @CanadianAR if this indeed is for a hmmwv I would think that if the military already did it in very-sandy tropical climates then you shouldn't really have any problem yourself in our very-untropical climates? (heh)

    Were non-turbo Humvees produced after introduction of the M11xx-turbos ?

    not directly related to the humvee but even certain cars continued having "knock-down base engine" on the sheet in selective markets (eg that 4dr car alike to an accord? it'll be introduced with a 1.4L engine then four years later this is very much well replaced by a 2.0L base instead except in...

    Electric power steering for M35A2 Deuce

    I'm not sure about e-steer as its quite new as far as finding any secondhand heavyduty ones goes (save for wrecked highway tractors with relatively intact frontend) but hmm might or might not be your thing to recheck about certain old buses and tractors (kenworth in particular re latter) for air...

    Personalized Plate for my Deuce

    bit tired here atm but still writing this tho, i'm sure someone somewhere have thought up at least one of these slightly relative plates?

    Low Range and Reverse

    @HDN what you just said sounds like the particular drivetrain in the volkswagen iltis, apparently I've at least once heard about of that it was really part-time 4wd but with how weak the shafts were it was "advised" to only ever use 2wd mode for making tight turns on dry hard surfaces but to...

    Nope

    someone needs to send that through a "life-sized" mouse maze? HA?! (I mean its a lot more agile than the usual single-cab steers-at-one-end vehicle, beside being able to face either direction without having to try turn around in a tiny space too)

    How to safely throw a perfectly good 5 ton truck out of a plane

    first url already not working anymore but second one is just fine just fyi, interesting TM thats for sure (and i'm not too surprised at the use of an "offloading" platform as i didn't think the leaf springs would had liked the full shock of a drop being directly applied to them after all, right?)

    Getting started from scratch with a Deuce in 2024?

    I don't mean to start an offtopic remark but a fictional someone by the name of Winston Rothschild actually once mentioned that he started sewage service by using a station wagon with liner in the very rear although sudden stops could be a very messy affair! (I mean seriously tho, transporting...
